Vertigo is an exhibition by mumok Vienna in cooperation with Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, where it was shown from 23 November 2019 to 23 August 2020. Scientific phenomena and developments have inspired artists throughout the ages. In the hands-on lab, we took up some of the phenomena underlying the artworks in the VERTIGO exhibition. Visitors were invited to deepen what they have seen and experienced in the exhibition with the experiments in the hands-on lab in Studio 11.
